New Awlaki Video

Their new plan-- to bore us all to death. Adam Gadhan's 46 minutes snoozer of a video was released yesterday. Today its Anwar, last week Inspire. Then there was Qasim al Reimi's audio, rebranding AQAP as a 12,000 man Aden Abyan Islamic Army, which I assure you exists only in his qat addled head. At least now we know what they are scared of--the Mardin Declaration: The scholars meeting in Mardin issued what they dubbed as “The New Mardin Declaration” in which they declared the fatwa of Ibn Taymiyyah unsuitable for our times and should not be used by “extremists to justify violence”.

CNN Yemeni-American cleric and militant Anwar al-Awlaki appeared in a new video message Saturday, saying that Islam is in "severe need for guidance in these dark situations" and that the religion is "exposed to fateful dangers."

In the limited portion of the video that was immediately available to CNN, al-Awlaki called on Muslim scholars to help address the situation.
